Wild Swarm Triple Hive Slot – Free Demo

Twenty lines under the Wild Honey

This moderate volatility slot is constructed using 5 reels and 20 fixed paylines. Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel for three or more matching symbols on a line. It is all about the Hive Free Spins mechanic where up to 12 spins can be activated, and the game is backed by an RTP of 96.48%. My session ran 420 spins at a 1.00 stake and took the balance from 1,000.00 to 844.50, a session return of 63.0%.

On the reels, you'll spot J to A card ranks as well as flowers, honey pots, crowns, and $ symbols, but the most lucrative of all symbols is the Wild Honey. It pays 10 times the stake for a combination of five across a complete payline. The J, Q, K and A pay 1x the stake for five of a kind, and the flowers, honey pots, crowns and $ symbols pay between 1.5x and 10x. Wild Honey acts as the wild, and it substitutes for all pay symbols except the Chest. Spin 370 paid 21.00 on a line of Wild Honey at the 1.00 stake.

Knight Bees, a Queen and a Chest

I'll leap directly to the Hive Free Spins bonus, which steps into play when Collectible Bees fly into the Hives. Each has a random chance to activate its Hive. In my 420 spins the Hives triggered three times, on spins 105, 323 and 406. 1, 2, or 3 Hives will award 7, 10, or 12 free spins correspondingly, and it's also feasible to lengthen the mechanic with 1 additional free spin for every reel filled with Sticky Wilds. The trigger on spin 406 opened all three Hives for 12 free spins and, with 6.00 from the base game on the same spin, produced the session's biggest win of 41.00.

The free spin mechanic is all about hitting Sticky Wilds, and on top of that, a Wheel mechanic has been added. This mechanic will step into play if a Chest symbol appears. In the base game the Wheel pays bet multipliers from 2x to 250x, jackpot prizes or a Hive feature. In Free Spins the Wheel will spin and award additional spins, a Sticky Wild reel, Jackpot Tokens, jackpots, or multipliers. The three Hive rounds I triggered paid 24.00, 2.00 and 35.00, which came to 61.00 or 23% of everything the session won.

The Minty Summary: 96.48% on the label, 63.0% across 420 spins at 1.00, with three Hive rounds that paid 61.00 between them and a balance that never once sat above where it started.

Honey that stayed under 1,000.00

Wild Swarm Triple Hive is not all that poor, yet there are no genuine surprises, novel mechanics, or anything I haven't encountered before. Push Gaming's catalogue also includes Wild Swarm 2 and Jammin' Jars 2.

Wild Swarm Triple Hive is not a slot I'm going to hurry to play. Over my 420 spins Wild Swarm Triple Hive never lifted the balance above its starting 1,000.00, and its lowest point was 815.60. It's improbable to draw much notice within the betting community due to the absence of x-factor. Then again, far plainer slots have become punter favourites. In my session the game paid on 122 of 420 spins, and 68 of those wins were smaller than the stake. Strictly speaking, it's truly a capable slot, and whatever the situation, Push Gaming is certainly a supplier I will be keeping a watch on for certain.
